The Whitest Boy Alive is the latest band from Erlend Øye of Kings of Convenience. Where KOC are more acoustic and harmony based, the Whitest Boy Alive is very cool, groovy, and mellow. Almost jazzy.

He is a great musician and songwriter as well, but I would pay to watch him read the phone book, because I am sure the commentary would be great.
